Holding down mouse button sends repeated clicks?

I don't think I've ever seen this happen with a mouse before. If I hold down any of the mouse buttons, instead of sending through a single click command and holding it it sends a repeated click signal (holding down once = click...click...click...click...click...) much like holding down a letter on your keyboard sends a repeated signal for that letter. Any idea how to stop this, it's really messing up my work. Thanks!

Re: Holding down mouse button sends repeated clicks?

I have the same problem with the HP wireless optical mobile mouse (WE788AA) that I just purchased. Problem occurs across multiple programs (IE, MS Office, etc). Does not happen with my wired HP mouse. Is this from a setting that can be changed, or do I need to return the mouse as defective?

Re: Holding down mouse button sends repeated clicks?

I'm having the same issue. I love the mouse, but this is starting to drive me crazy. Is this a problem with the mouse, or are they all like this? It seems to stay "clicked" if you will, when I'm moving my mouse around, but only sends the multiple clicks if I leave the cursor still.

Re: Holding down mouse button sends repeated clicks?

I am also having the same problem. The CEO wanted a wireless mouse and I bought two of these! I am really regretting it now. I tried different drivers, tried it on a different OS, and smack it a few times. Nothing works. Either this was a design flaw or HP being... HP.

edit: Also, its not just the left mouse button. It happens to the middle and right mouse button also. Seriously, wtf!

Re: Holding down mouse button sends repeated clicks?

I'm having the same exact problem... I wish someone would pay attention to these boards and post a solution... this is certainly annoying and seems to be a design defect as the replacement mice do the same thing.

Re: Holding down mouse button sends repeated clicks?

Extremely disappointed. I've had this same problem with the mice (I needed four). Both on a HP laptop and on my Mac. So I don't think there's a software solution for it, it's just a mouse with a new unwanted feature.

But what really, really annoys me is that HP Netherlands never called back. Not once. I had to remind tech support there twice that I waited for an answer. First time they promised me to get back the same week. They didn't. When I called the next week I was promised they would give me a status update the same day. Still waiting, it's been five days again.

Today I went to the computer shop and exchanged them for Logitech. I really dislike being ignored by suppliers. HP, treat your customer better next time. Even the small ones.
